Best wishes to her. Curing diseases seems a nobler calling than building & selling $1,500 VR headsets. How MRI images on a consumer wearable can do that is beyond me, though I'm no M.D., or even Ph.D as Jepsen is (Optical Sciences, Brown).

It seems people these days are increasingly finding happiness in doing the things they really want to do rather than staying at jobs just because of a position or high pay. May she one day find a cure for breast cancer.

There is HUGE financial opportunity -- especially for experienced tech-heads from Silicon Valley -- in next-gen medical technologies. Jepsen did not leave her company to be a missionary in a developing nation. She's pursuing another business opportunity.

Given the cost of an MRI, that indeed could be world-changing for many people. The ability for technology to bring down the costs of medical care is going to help extend people's lives. That seems like a more interesting pursuit over working at Facebook.
